auto

auto lets you program software factories the same way you program CI/CD.

Compose agents and triggers into workflows using simple YAML files, and deploy them into the cloud on merge. Anything that can be described in a standard operating procedure can become a chart of agents and triggers: ticket triage and resolution, automated incident response, custom-tailored code review, organized fleets of agents on long-horizon tasks, and more.

This package is the auto command-line interface: authenticate, apply resources, launch and attach to sessions, and manage your project from the terminal.

auto is an alpha project. Expect roughness around the edges.

Install

npm install -g @autohq/cli

This provides the auto command. (If you use Intuit's auto release tool, note that both packages install an auto binary.)

Get started

The fastest path is agent-driven onboarding. Paste this into a coding agent running in your repository (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex):

Session auto onboard --agent and follow the instructions it prints.

The agent walks you through sign-in, studies your repo, and installs a first workflow tailored to how your team works.

By hand:

auto auth login        # sign in (device flow)
auto apply             # apply .auto/ resources to your project
auto start <agent>         # launch a session; --attach to follow it
auto tui               # interactive dashboard

Session auto --help for the full command tree.

Accounts

Each signed-in account is stored under ~/.auto/accounts/, keyed by email and server; the active one is the activeAccount pointer in ~/.auto/config.yaml. Logging in to a second account never discards the first.

auto auth login                          # sign in (device flow) and store the account
auto auth list                           # list stored accounts
auto auth switch                         # pick the active account interactively
auto auth switch --user [email protected]  # switch without the prompt
auto auth remove [email protected]         # delete a stored account

When the same email is signed in on more than one server, add --server <url> to auth switch / auth remove to disambiguate.
